opportunity to youth aged 15-19 to unravel the mysteries of particle
physics. Lectures from active scientists give insight in topics and methods of
basic research at the fundaments of matter and forces, enabling the students to
perform measurements on real data from particle physics experiments themselves.

Lectures in the morning were read by prof. Ia
